Salt's Anti Aliasing

Salt's Anti Aliasing brings a full suite of anti-aliasing, sharpening, supersampling, and upscaling options to Minecraft with a built-in Video Settings menu, live previews, debug tools, and performance tracking.

NOTICE: The MSAA option doesn't work with sodium installed

Whether you want cleaner edges, a sharper image, or better performance through upscaling, this mod gives you modern image-quality options directly inside the game.

Why Use It?

Minecraft's default image can look jagged, noisy, or unstable depending on your resolution and settings. Salt's Anti Aliasing gives you multiple ways to improve that, depending on what you want:

  • cleaner edges
  • reduced shimmering
  • sharper visuals
  • better image stability
  • performance-friendly upscaling options
  • high-quality supersampling options for stronger GPUs

Some modes are lightweight and fast, while others focus on maximum image quality.

Built-In Debug Tools

Salt's Anti Aliasing also includes tools for testing and comparison:

  • F3 + K toggles an edge-detection debug view
  • on-screen edge stats help compare modes
  • optional metrics recording can log frame rate behavior over time
  • per-mode reporting makes it easier to compare performance between settings

Performance Metrics

If enabled in the config, the mod can record useful benchmarking information such as:

  • average FPS
  • median FPS
  • 1% lows and 5% lows
  • lag spikes
  • FPS drops
  • low-FPS time
  • per-mode performance totals
  • per-minute averages

This makes it much easier to compare how each anti-aliasing mode performs on your system.

Designed For Tuning

This mod is built for players who like to test, compare, and fine-tune image quality. Whether you want a lightweight edge smoother, a sharp upscale preset, or a stronger cinematic look, Salt's Anti Aliasing gives you the tools to experiment and find what looks best on your setup.

Current Focus

The current version focuses on the OpenGL rendering path and includes the full in-game feature set listed above. The project is also structured with future graphics-backend expansion in mind.

If you want cleaner Minecraft visuals with real control over how the game looks and performs, Salt's Anti Aliasing is made for exactly that.
